Where do I even start.

If I want to be objective, I’ll say that 2010 has been a year of changes and emotions.

If I want to be crude, I’ll say that 2010 has been a total mindfuck bitchass of a year.

A run down through my year:

1. My limited edition oakley frogskin flew out the car window in Malaysia. FP got me another pair in Feb, but it’s just not the same. You know?

2. I taught myself how to sew. I sewed that pink teddy from scratch, imperfect as it may seem. It’s still a masterpiece to me.

3. I quit coffee for good. Didn’t think it was possible, but I did it. It still amazes me how I can get thru a sleepy day without coffee. I’m awesome.

4. Started the year in Malaysia: Malacca, KL, Batu Pahat. This photo was taken in Malacca.

5. We finally tried the level 30 spicy wings!

6. We got ourselves a Nintendo Wii, as if the PS3 wasn’t enough.

7. FP had an accident that caused him to be homebound for 5 months. We spent a good half of the year indoors and having indoor picnics all the time.

8. FP dabbled in food photography, during our indoor pinics. Awesome shots of awesome food. That must be where this excess weight is coming from :P

9. WORLD CUP. I had a fantastic June thanks to endless football matches. Lack of sleep was a given of course, but it was so worth it :) Even though my heart was with Germany through and through, my favourite moment was still the day New Zealand trashed Italy. It was epic.


10. Sour Sally finally opens in Singapore. This made my entire week, the week i discovered about it. Since then, I’ve been downing the froyo with plenty of yummy mochi. I wonder where I can get the mochi, it’s absolutely yummy.

11. Ariel Peterporn saga. This came right in the middle of the world cup, so as you can tell – I had a very interesting June. Can never get the image of Ariel’s big and nice.. watches and his wonderful butt. Yes, I saw both videos. Was awaiting the third one but then.. he just had to turn himself in, sigh sigh. I really hope he won’t be put away for 12 years. I haven’t even watched him live, for god’s sake.

12. Singapore got flooded. Even my neighbourhood got affected, wished I’d been there when it happened but I was at work.

13. Speaking of work, I left the job that I love and ended up in another job, which didn’t last long – for so many reasons. But it gave me the chance to be a mac user for 2 months, so no complaints there.

In summary:

Top 5 Highlights:
1) World Cup 2010 (we should have it every year!)
2) Discovered Tumblr (only awesome people will get this)
3) Sour Sally opens in Singapore! (mixed mochi ftw)
4) 2 words: iphone 4 (blackberry who?)
5) Ariel Peterporn (my hottest asian man has nice big.. watches and a nice butt)

Top 5 Downers:
1) Broke up with FP (got back 2 weeks later, but it was still one of the darkest periods of the year)
2) Left a job I absolutely loved (this is like a second breakup)
3) FP got into a major traffic accident (left him homebound for 5 months, we spent a good half of the year indoors)
4) Sucking at a new job so bad that it was short-lived; it peaked and ended within 2 months.
5) I didn’t get to travel at all this year

So that was my year. Thought it pretty much sucked, but as I was doing up this post and remembering fun and great stuff – it didn’t seem too bad after all. It’s all about perspective.

Before I did this post, I was feeling afraid to face 2011. But now that I feel better about the year, I look forward to a better year.

It’s all about perspective, isn’t it?

Okay this is the final installment of the Malaysian trip trilogy. It was a day trip to KL from Batu Pahat. The drive was not very long, but long enough to make Short Attention Span me bored.

Bored enough for me to be wearing my monkey hoodie (with monkey ears) with my first Oakley Frogskin Shades, indoors.

I camwhored, i chewed gum, i read. And then I lost my limited edition Oakley Frogskin. So after my precious shades flew off, I kept a very low profile in the car and mourned for the lost.

FP was very comforting though :) <3!

But my losing the shades actually kinda ruined my mood which is why most of the pictures you'll see in this post have me looking like a punani. What is a punani? Go figure.

We finally arrived at Damansara where we had lunch at Paddington House of Pancake - a pancake restaurant.

paddington's menu

What I remembered from this restaurant was that it was very tiring to read the menu. I don’t know if it was because I was exhausted from just crying but it was really difficult to focus on the menu. Each and every food name was not a food name.

They are named after cities, like Vienna and Brussels. And then a very elaborate description of what it was. A completely different dining experience!

Ok here are some photos of the food that we had. I’m sorry I can’t remember any of the names and what they actually are. But they will do your eyes good.

foooood Kawan E & Kawan C’s food

pasta and pancakeMy pasta

Not forgetting this photo. I wanted a Pineapple Freeze, which I expected to be a good mix of sweet-sour goodness. But it was incredibly sour that I thought it was lemon juice. We asked the waiter if they got the order wrong, but nooo.. it was pineapple freeze alright.

Fine.

So after lunch we shopped and shopped. I bought a lot of shoes and a lovely denim jacket. We tried on silly things, but no photos coz photography not allowed. What silly rules. I was amazed at the variety and quality of clothes and shoes at Charles & Kieth and Forever 21.

How come in KL the stuff are nicer in these shops than in Singapore. How unfair. :(

Some random photos in KL:

the gardenThis was a really lovely restaurant / cafe which had a garden theme. Nice!

sha digging the horseyThis photo just looks sick. I am digging the horsey’s butt.

Here’s a proper photo of me and the horsey.

And finally it’s dinner, at this restaurant called Delicious. Seriously. But the food was indeed delicious, lucky for them. This was our spread!

sambal prawns with rice

This was my sambal prawns with rice. It was extremely yummy and has really too many things in a single dish. I was at a lost of what to eat first on my plate.

This was the full view of the contents:

pasta

I can’t remember if this was FP’s dish or Kawan E’s but it was creamy pasta anyhows.

strawberry cheesecake

Yummy yummy strawberry cheesecake!

And after a day of tears, eating and shopping, we made our way back to Batu Pahat.

Okay that’s it for the Malaysian trip! Till the next trip we take!
